Saj T IT'S NO USE 20	Posted - 2013.02.03 21:52:00 - [1] - Quote Do we have different hit zones or is it all the same as long as you hit something?
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1058	Posted - 2013.02.03 22:11:00 - [2] - Quote headshots do indeed deal extra damage. Scrambler pistols have easily the biggest multiplier, and it's probably safe to assume scrambler rifles will have that too when they're released.

Bet you it will take less than two hours after their introduced for the first "NERF!!! the scrambler rifles" thread to appear

If you are sniping they are very important. Hitting their shoulder or torso can strip all shields and most armor but they will be moving so good luck on the next hit. A sniper head shot will OHK nearly everybody. Some Heavies have so much shielding and armor that a head shot by a lower level weapon will do a lot of damage but not kill them. A high damage weapon will circumvent that ... if you actually hit their head that is. For the AR I aim nearly 90% of the time. And I aim for the head. Hitting someone from behind, flank or above will take them out with few rounds. While not hitting the head may take the entire clip or that one and part of the next. If you are in a face off with no way to get to cover the Merc that is doing head shots will prevail over the hip shooter. I love head shots with my HMG. Talk about going down fast and they won't get up. No medic can fix a grenade kill or a head shot.

Warchild Zek IMPSwarm Negative-Feedback 28	Posted - 2013.02.04 02:34:00 - [9] - Quote I heard headshots make you unable to be revived also. I haven't been able to confirm, but its a common rule in games with revive (e.g. BF3).
Coleman Gray Coalition Of Goverments 47	Posted - 2013.02.04 04:06:00 - [10] - Quote Oh god do head shots make a differnce XD I've stood infront of a HMG heavy with my triage char in the starting kit and too them out cos all my hits was headshots

Cross Atu Conspiratus Immortalis 775	Posted - 2013.02.04 18:21:00 - [12] - Quote Shotgun = +65% dmg Sniper rifles are up over 100 but less than the Scrambler.

Ryean Redshirt DUST University Ivy League 0	Posted - 2013.02.08 20:31:00 - [14] - Quote Sooooo, after a kill, can I walk up and pop the corpse in the head to ensure there is no revive opportunity?

Course still not 100% sure they didn't choose to bleed out. Also, have had my time for revive disappear after someone shot me while down multiple times so this is why I think it is so. TL:DR - headshot = no revive; have seen revive time disappear when shot again
Altina McAlterson TRUE TEA BAGGERS 362	Posted - 2013.02.09 00:03:00 - [16] - Quote If you do enough damage to their body after they go down it will force them to bleed out. AFAIK a single bullet to the head would not cause enough damage unless it was with maybe a Breach Scrambler Pistol or something.

Yup! Scrambler pistols are truly amazing weapons. I believe their logic with the lore is that they have some nanites or whatever that really mess with the neurons which is why they do so much more head shot damage than other weapons. Right now people are using the scrambler pistol as they would in a traditional FPS where it's merely a back-up if they run out of ammo in their assault rifle. You should be using it every time someone gets a good jump on you regardless of the ammo in your AR. If you are at half armor and your enemy is at full shields you can still win that battle with a well placed scrambler shot. It is also the best method to take out someone you've managed to sneak up on. Oh, and it is also an extremely viable method of taking down Heavies.

Dual pistol scout with sidearm complex damage mod, you won't win every battle but you will surprise yourself, AIM HIGH!

But I didn't hear any sniper shot and was positive I had sniper cover. I run logi, so don't have a sidearm. I'll have to check these out someday.
Delirium Inferno Chernova Industries 34	Posted - 2013.02.17 06:45:00 - [25] - Quote I put together a dual pistol scout. Assault Scrambler as my primary and Breach as my secondary for heavies along with a complex sidearm modifier, militia profile dampening, and level 2 light weapon sharpshooting. Died a whole bunch at first but I'm growing attached to it.
